The history of a nuclear bomb has started long before Hiroshima. This scientific breakthrough was made in the eighteenth century. That was when Martin Klaproth discovered a radioactive element that was meant to become a "filling" for a nuclear weapon – uranium. Later, other scientists studied and gave a detailed description of nuclear fission. Unfortunately, the results of their collective work served the interests of the military. And helped it pursue the goals you perfectly know about. Today, almost fifteen countries possess nuclear weapons. Their governments are in no hurry to get rid of them. And the worst part is the number of nukes may even grow. It used to take decades to make one bomb... Currently, if you have money and the needed technologies, you can put nuclear warheads into mass production. Or am I wrong? In this video, you’ll find out: Who is in charge of the Nuclear Balance? How many years does it take to design the weapon and how is an atomic bomb built in the first place?
